Weekend Tidbits

It was a working weekend for us. While battling an awful stomach bug that has plagued me since late last week, I had commitments to fullfil over the weekend that I just couldn't bail out on. One was our friend's round-the-clock bridal shower which I set up and just couldn't stay til the party. I missed out on some details for the set up but I heard they had an awesome night so that makes me happy.

Come Sunday, I had my first ever cover styling gig with a huge star, a Disney legend, and an incredible mother all rolled into one. It was tough especially when you're not exactly in tip-top shape. Good thing, my overly eager little assistant was there to lighten the load. 

The weekend that was. How was yours?

Princess Tea Party

1. Pretty Cup Cake Kit/ 2. Cup Cake Stand/ 3. Tea Cup/ 4. Buntings/ 5. Tutu/ 6. Paper Crowns

Mischka is turning 3 (gasp!) in 2 weeks and all she wants is a princess tea party. She coined that phrase herself. That's all she can talk about. In fact, she'll tell you no boys and adults are invited because its a tea party for princesses. Geeez. 

She's obsessed with Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Tiana, Aurora and for a mum who's somewhat allergic to character birthday parties, this is nothing but a huge challenge for me. Oh, we're not throwing her a big one. Just an afternoon of fruit juice (disguised as tea) and some cupcakes. 

Have a wonderful weekend, lovelies.

Fantasy Closet {One Piece Three Ways}

Have you ever come across something you liked so much only to walk away from it for fear of post-purchase regrets? Well, a pair of bold printed shorts could easily have you second-guessing. But if its as stunning as this one from Nicole Miller then you'd really find ways to get the most style mileage off it, wouldn't you?

The Elements:
LUNCH DATE Topshop Blazer/ Marc Jacobs Tote/ H&M Ballet Flats
COCKTAIL HOUR Vince Sequin Top/ 3.1 Phillip Lim Clutch/ Ellery Lace-up Heels
POOLSIDE 3.1 Phillip Lim Bandeau Bikini/ Opening Ceremony Sandals/ Gucci Sunglasses/ Calypso St. Barth Straw Tote

dissection of an ensemble {in the pink}

I realized its been awhile since my last ensemble dissection post. For lack of a good photographer at my disposal and posing, not really my cup of tea, I am low on this subject matter at the moment. Last Saturday though, I was lucky to have the Mr. take a quick snap of my rather outrageously pink garb. He asked if it was really my intention to sweep the floor as I sashay around. Silly. 

That stunning pendant is from my sister. I wore it with a necklace from J.Crew.  I know it resembles Joyce Makitalo's so much. But no, it's from a jewelry maker in Cebu.
